A Twittle Poem Formula For You And I To Try
This is something I have learned to enjoy, trying a poem format I haven’t tried before, and including rhyme where possible. Rhyme is why.
“Twittle Poem Formula:
* It is a 100-letter,
* Four-line,
* Very short,
* Micro-poem.”
Wire Editor Newman
This challenge came from Medium writers. It involves writing a “Twittle Poem.” AL had been tagged by Sheila McCall. The original challenge article has been credited to Carolyn Hastings. I was tagged by Denise Kendig.
I didn’t stay up for hours so my Twittle is not a superpower or as great as others, but rather right off the top and with rhyme. I love trying new formats and will share this one in A Poem A Day In February on Facebook.
Right off the top, means I just finished a texting conversation with a 20s-something granddaughter.
Here are my first attempts at two fabulous Twittle Poems:
Here is my first:
Who knew I wouldn’t know a thing
Is this what aging will bring
I forgot teens know everything
Some twenties be oversharing
****
And here is my second:
College degree means nothing
Life experience is not a thing
Addiction demands negativity
I always approve positivity
